What troubleshooting have you done so far?

Customer Replay

I unplugged the power cord hoping it would go dead but it has an amazing battery and still hasn’t died. I also tried holding the power button but that didn’t work either

Ok. Got it
Have you followed this instruction?

  • Turn off your laptop.
  • Remove the AC adapter cable, hard drives, battery, and any other attached peripheral devices.
  • Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds and release. Your laptop will boot up and turn off during this time period.
  • Put your battery back in and plug the charger. Then don’t plug anything else.
  • Press the Power button as normal to turn on your laptop.

I can’t turn it off. I’ve removed anything connected to it. I can’t get at the battery or hard drive. I just held the off button for 30 seconds and it is off I think the blue light is out now.

Ok, *****
You should restart your PC several times.

Customer Replay

I wasn’t holding the start button long enough.
So I should turn it on and off a few times?

author

Yes, please, try

Customer Replay

I did it 3 times and it worked.
